[M] Callystoo : First of all, hello and thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions. We will start by talking about you. You are SK Gaming jungler since November 2013, structure you joined with fredy122. Since then, unlike many players you have been loyal to SK. Have you ever received offer from different structures? What made you stay with SK?
[SK] Svenskeren : I have faith in my team mates and when I have really good players around me there is no sense in moving to another team. I'm sure many players had offers to go to other teams, I just saw no sense in doing so.
Last season you performed really well, either in spring split or summer split making it to the podium in every step of the competition. The worlds on the other hand were a difficult time for you, in some way probably because of your ban after your rename. Have your teammates blamed you or were they comprehensive? Did it impact the future of the team?
I regret what I did and I disappointed everyone around me, I'm happy that they stuck by me and gave me emotional support in hard times. I don't think it had any long term effect on the team since things are going pretty well for us at the moment.
You have made 2 changes in the team since last season: Forgiven replaced Candypanda and Fox replaced Jesiz. Were these changes initiated by the players or the structure's management board? What do those 2 arrivals bring to the team compared to last season?
SK came to each player after worlds and asked for everyones opinion as to what they would want for SK 2015. It was made mutually by both us the players and SK.
LCS week 6 just ended. Which teams surprised you and why?
I'm a little surpised that Gambit have managed to bounce back so heavily from the start they had this season, also H2K have been playing really well since kaSing joined.
You are leading the ranking tied with Fnatic. You lost your first encounter against them; can you tell us more about this loss? Do you think you had chances to win? Where are your mistakes coming from? Did you expect Fnatic to go that far with a brand new line-up?
I think we were in bad condition coming into the game since we had alot of sickness in the team. Therefore, we weren't able to practice enough and it showed in our games. I think it was more to do with us playing bad than them playing good (not to say that they didn't).
You faced Elements this week, who just recruited kev1n and Krepo. Have you seen improvements in their game or do you think the problem doesn't come from the players themselves?
It's hard to say because you can't really make a judgement on their impact in such a short time. It will be interesting to see how they develop, with whoever they play with.
nRated is famous for being an expert on LoL, is he the main ingame shoutcaller, leader or is he assisted by anyone in the team?
I think everyone in the team steps up when they need to, everyone contributes to preparing for the game too. I wouldn't say we have a standout shotcaller but everyone communicates pretty well in game.
Riot seems to show a will to put some characters up to date and viable, like Morderkaiser or Nautilus. Are there some champions you would like to play again in LCS? What are the top tier jungle picks at the moment?
I think that unless they change the game or buff certain champions too much, champions which can duel and apply early pressure will always have the highest impact in the game. Lee, Reksai, Nidalee and Rengar are all pretty popular at the moment so I would say they are the top picks for jungle.
Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions, you have the final word.
I'd like to thank SK Gaming and our sponsors. Thanks for Interviewing me.

3/ You have made 2 changes in the team since last season: Forgiven replaced Candypanda and Fox replaced Jesiz. Were these changes initiated by the players or the structure’s management board? What do those 2 arrivals bring to the team compared to last season?
SK came to each player after worlds and asked for everyones opinion as to what they would want for SK 2015. It was made mutually by both us the players and SK. |

Don’t want this question included.
